"Disagree with review about the carryon. Had no problem with being able to put in overhead and detached backpack to store under seat. Used it for travel to Seattle for a long weekend and it was very functional to have the daypack for tooling around town for keeping a jacket and iPad and room for things I purchased. As long as you don't pack restricted items should have no problem with the carryon."

"I was considering purchasing 3 of these bags for our family for an international trip. I want a carryon bag with detachable backpack. To be clear, this bag does exceed (by a lot) the official approved dimensions of carryon luggage for American Airlines, which is 22x14x9. This bag is 26x15.5x8. So even though some folks may have lucked out and got this bag approved as a carryon, officially if far from meets that standard. Thought this might be helpful for others."

"First of all, it's pretty big and there is no way to have it as "carry-on" to the airplane. When it's loded - very difficult to use it as backpack. Especially with small backpack attached.
Secondly, the top handle of the small backpack broke on the second day of use. And there is no way to fix it.
So, the quality was less then satisfying...
Overall, NO, I would not buy it again."

"I purchased 1 for every person in my family for a european vacation. Worked great for a 3 week trip.
I purchased 10 more for employees as a gift, everyone seems to love the functionality of the removable day pack."

"The rolling backpack is very easy to load and transport and seems quite durable. However, the bag is larger than anticipated and larger than the airlines will allow as a carry-on, even with the detachable day pack removed, which was a huge disappointment."

"The backpack and bag is a little larger than my previous bag. There are no straps on the outside of the bag to keep it secure during travel although the strap ends (plastic) were destroyed by the airline baggage handlers or equipment. Maybe this is why the straps are the reason they're not included on this one.
Overall the backpack and bag are exactly what I was looking for. I haven't tried checking the bag, but does seem a little too large to carry on. I haven't tried checking the bag because I wouldn't want to carry it onto a flight finding it doesn't fit in the overhead. The only advantage would be getting the bag checked for free. The backpack is small enough to stow under the seat in front of you. If you want a little leg room I suggest putting it in the overhead.
This bag seems very durable, but only time and many flights will prove or disprove durability. The last bag is still usable and over five years old, but isn't as usable as when it was new with the strap ends broken, zipper ends missing, and the wheels are starting to stick & wobble. I'll use it on road trips in the car, but not for business travel."

Will this bag fit my laptop?
